A curved section of canal in Fulton, New York, with several canal boats tied to both banks. On the left side of the photograph, a four-story building with an additional structure on its roof stands. A sign with individual letters standing on the roof reads "[indiscernible letters] & CO RIVERSIDE MILLS". The building is supported by stilts and stands directly over the manmade bank (there is no grass visible on this side). There are several windows in the building's side, less than half of them opened, and a man wearing white can be seen standing in an open doorway on the side of the building facing the canal, with the door's threshold less than a meter above the stack of logs on top of one of the boats. On the right side of the photograph are both natural and manmade banks, smaller (one-, two-, and three-story) commercial or residential buildings, a seated figure, and some trees and low hills in the background. There are three visible lines crossing high in the foreground, presumably utility lines.
